I'll Be Always Home by dodo 3 months ago
>zallaz
Thanks, zallaz
About Talking Heads,
ah, I don't know much about them...

I made the arrangement just like Beatles,
If they made one song now 2008... like that.

>musika
Thanks musika!
>I loved how it progressed
I'm very glad to hear that
Because I intended to make a little movie.

Tabitha's Final Magic by dodo 5 months ago
Thanks MIR

The lyrics are kind of short story here.
I'd like to translate it, someday...
A Seed of Happiness by dodo 5 months ago
>MIR
Thanks, MIR!

In the lyrics, I tried to say
happiness is made not of just happiness, but of a little regret and sadness.
To choose one is to leave the other one, like that...
Immortal Guilty (Mortal Innocent mix) by dodo 5 months ago
Thanks et, thanks Bass2x

I didn't add much sounds to the original,
I just tried to make it sound like a little progressive jazz or fusion.

Hyper Serenade by dodo 7 months ago
>MIR
You don't like the synth strings part?
Well, I think myself the melody line is a bit awkward.
It can be more natural...

Thanx!
One More Song ~ Key of Life by dodo 7 months ago
Thank you all.

And sorry for my late comment.
Welcome To The Я∃∀Г WORLD by dodo 7 months ago
>MIR
First, "Ob" made this instrument track, and he asked me "Can you add any melodies or something?"
I said "I can't, nobody can, you know???"

So this works must be a miracle. God made it, I guess.
STARRY NIGHT of Cowboy Gogh by dodo 7 months ago
>MIR
I'm so glad if this song made you smile.
Thank you.
Back to Rama by dodo 7 months ago
>MIR
Thanx, MIR.
Still I think this version isn't the best,
I can make it better but I don't know how...
Back to Rama (for remix) by dodo 7 months ago
>MIR
Oh, "sudden pause"! that sounds nice!
Thank you for listening
Keep Going! (dodo mix) by dodo 7 months ago
>MIR
Thanks, MIR.
Yes, Japanese.
Most of the mix is by "Ob", he's great!


>et
Thanks, et.
Love!
Back to Rama (for remix) by dodo 7 months ago
Happy to hear that "love"
Thanks, et.

A (real)sax version is coming, maybe.
Back to Rama by dodo 8 months ago
>zefif
Thank you for a good advice!
Right, and the whole song is a bit too long, I think.
Back to Rama by dodo 8 months ago
Thanks feenixx!

Though I am not satisfied about this version myself.
I wonder if I post the karaoke of this song?
For anyone to add melodies.
Does it sound good?
Welcome To The Я∃∀Г WORLD by dodo 11 months ago
>thanx RolandOfGilead
When I heard the base track of "Ob", I thought
"Nobody can sing to this tune!!"

But I could sing to my surprise.
I have already written the lyrics, and that fit to it!
Miracle!

I think it is a kind of chemistry work.
I didn't create the song, I just found it, something like that.
Tombouctou by dodo 1 year ago
>davelovesblues
thanks, dave.
yeah, it will be better with more layers.
Why don't you try it?

>shadowofdeath
thanks!
"cool" is the word I like.

>MissingPiece
thanks, MP
oops, I made a mistake when I uploaded this.
I used no loops. I'm not a looper.
And you're right, I played the guitar.
3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and 7/4 are in this tune.
Listen to my Dream by dodo 1 year ago
Thanks guys!

ah, more instruments and pads...
I will try it in time.
But now I can't imagine how.
Maybe tomorrow, the Muse will come to me... smiley
Hyper Serenade by dodo 1 year ago
>roarforge
Thanks!
Some guy said this is grunge techno,
is it?

When I happened to make the bass line,
I thought I made it already.
The whole music rushed into my mind.
She Said She Said by dodo 1 year ago
>4arms

Thanks again, 4arms.
Yep, sometimes I wish I had 4 arms for the guitar!
But how should I play with twenty fingers?
They must be tangled up... I guess. smiley

No, not the Beatles, I use the title and just one line.
[Demo] What I Haven't Done by dodo 1 year ago
>4arms
Thanks.
I have to lesson hard with my nylon guitar, I know that.
Please wait for the complete version.
A Little Something (featuring popsicle sato) by dodo 1 year ago
Thanks etgilles, pharmakeus, ciheins, seles58.

Very sorry for not replying.

Let me say this
I love you all!
CRYSTAL FANFARE by dodo 1 year ago
>David
Ah, thanks!

I intended this tune to be lyrical at the beginning,
But the result is experimental as you say...

Anyway I like it myself.
And glad to hear you love it, too.
Out Of Order (Studio Rehearsal) by dodo 1 year ago
Thanks, David.
This was very first time I met three members.
They are so talented, so I could play the guitar smoothly.

We are going to play this tune, live this Saturday.
Pop Heavy Pop by dodo 1 year ago
>>Royall
Thanks for your comment.

No loops at all. I typed in every note(although I copied and pasted some).
So except my guitar they are all 'midi'

Thank you ddb.

It was like serendipity??
Anyway I'm glad you listened to my music.
Whereabouts of the Star (DEMO) by dodo 1 year ago
>eagle 1
I want the sounds more 'human', real percussions, and real bass, like that.
And a few more vocals... and so on.
About a guitar solo, (though I cannot play a "nice" guitar solo... ha ha),
I've been thinking the same as you.
Thanks for listening.

>naz drummr
Icehouse?? OK, I will take a listen. Are they on iTunes Store?

Now I forgot how this tune was made.
Maybe the sounds of Peter Gabriel's "Secret World Live" stimulated me.
Thanks.

>CONDURSO
Thank you for your comment.
Grazie per il vostro commento.
Right?
Godel Explicit by dodo 2 years ago
Thanks everyone.
The title doesn't matter this time.

I am happy if anybody enjoyed listening to this.

(And as for myself, I like this version than the previous.
Remix, it must be better than before, I think)
Ave Maria -The Whole Voyald And Heaven Itself - by dodo 2 years ago
>Tobz
Thanks.
I really appreciate your advises.

About vocals, well, maybe you're right.
Only one theme was enough for this tune...

And the ending?
You don't like it?
I had to make the song longer a bit, then with a natural fade-out,
or, with an impressive long note ending, for example, right?

Well, I won't update this tune.
I will make another song-better one with Crystal.
Thanks, Tobz.
Ave Maria -The Whole Voyald And Heaven Itself - by dodo 2 years ago
>RichieEastside
Thanks, Richie.
I haven't tried the kind of tunes like this one before.
And this is the first time for me, a modular synthesizer.
Aside from "Ave Maria" melody, I used only one midi region,
each to several tracks. You know what I'm trying to say?
I have to learn about Crystal, well, about synth itself.
The next song will be better, I hope.

Crystal? I just installed it...
I checked where the component is. It is in the directory
/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components/
not in
/~user/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components/
Crystal shows in a select menu of sound source of an info window.

Anyway I think 'Crystal' needs a lot of memories.
My Mac has 1GB RAM, and sometimes cursor keep spinning for seconds,
When I play Crystal with GB.

Very happy to hear that.
Thanks scotty!
Collage04" by dodo 2 years ago

Hi, Scott, thanks.
Well, the part is just a DEMO
I'm not going to sing in the final version.
(but I wanna sing much better, anyway... smiley )
Thanks.
Collage04" by dodo 2 years ago
>David
Thanks David
I didn't want to sing in that tune, but I had to.
Because one of my friend is going to sing in the final version.
(He is the best singer that I know).
Don't worry, David, I will NOT sing smiley

Thanks teaks, I appreciate your commenting, but...

DingDong, You're wrong!
I know what you are trying to say,
it's very interesting, but...

I am not christian, nor evangelist, nor latino, nor Sinyasin, never!
Just a Japanese music lovers.

(I guess we both are cynic, hehe!)
thnx again.
Maze Runnin' by dodo 2 years ago
>scotty
Hi, scotty, thanks for your comment.
I thought about asking you to play bass in this song, but,
I found it very boring for bassist to play the same riff for minutes.

(I haven't written the lyrics. Need some more time...)
Maze Runnin' by dodo 2 years ago
>macoco
Yes, nylon guitar. And I play with my fingers, not with a pick.

>first part shorter...
You mean intro part, or organ-vibe part?
Well, I am not satisfied with this version yet.
Because the guitar solo comes just like a "guest player", doesn't it?
And the chord progression is so intricate that I can't follow it.
(Though I made it myself... hehe)
"Tangoish ending" How true! Very happy I think.
Thank you for your advice, macoco.
(Another) Prologue by dodo 2 years ago
>DavidBowles
Thank you David.
I made all the melodies and rhythms with some 'logic',
And I tried to make them beautiful.
It was hard but enjoyable task.

>xtof
Thank you very much, xtof.
Walking through the forest...
That very scene was in my mind, really!

So I am happy to share my images pretty exactly!

Paul was in my mind when I made this tune.
Thanks.

Scissor Sisters?? Sorry I don't know... ( I will try to find some)

Oyasumi Totochi Mata Ashita by dodo 2 years ago

It's me who has to say 'thank you'

The ancient name of Japan is "Akitsu-shima" which means "Island of Dragonfly".
Just an aside...

Thanks.
Oyasumi Totochi Mata Ashita by dodo 2 years ago
>nemo66
Thanx, nemo.
This time I made a song just for myself and my wife, and Totochi.
So I am happy to hear you like it.
I just want to say 'thank you'
Katazukanai by dodo 2 years ago
>hacked to pieces

I think Metal Rock needs some roughness.
It is trapped in 'Formality', I guess.

Your icon reminds me of 'Kiss', 'David Bowie', 'Beagle Dog'(sorry) and 'Pris in Bladerunner' smiley
Troubled Water by dodo 2 years ago
>David
Pipes = vocals
Ah, I got it! thanks a lot.
I asked my Japanese friend to write lyrics, make a better melody and sing it, so
when that is complete, I will upload it.

Anyway, I have to practice my guitar other than singing...
I could play better when I was young.
OK, it's just an old man's "Those were the days" smiley
Troubled Water by dodo 2 years ago
>naz_drummr
Thanks for your comment.
But I can't understand its exact meaning.
What is 'pipes'? and

Halcyon days, Yeah! That's it!
The time when children went to bed at eight in the evening
And the time making love meant holding hands and kissing shyly
Those days are...

To tell the truth, I wanted more gadgets, more instruments to play.
How about brush drumming?

>DavidBowles
FPM... I didn't know that. what a shame...
And I must admit I need a vocalist other than me
Which I have said so often.

You know it really makes me laugh and

But, how comes "Fukamushinato san" for "Fortunato"
I don't get it.
btw, I used to be a Ninja but I quit
Because these days Ninja doesn't get paid enough smiley

Thanks jblend.
When I adjusted a soundfont, that sound came to me by chance.
Yeah 80's Japanese Techno.
So I changed the arrangement.
About the backtracked one, you may be right.
I should have make it a little longer.

The words are from my poem "Because"
And the voice is Vicki's!

You know "Dreams Come True"????
Japanese artists they are!
Mangetsu no Yoru niwa ne (On the Fullmoon Night) by dodo 2 years ago
>JacobWasher
Thanks Jacob!
The song is about a man and woman who has to part for some reason.
But two believe that they can be together again, maybe the next fullmoon night.
The moon wanes and disappears then waxes and rises again.
At the start of this song, a girl says:
"I didn't know that you are fool enough to love me"

Thanks Baboon.
"full version?" What am I gonna do?
I sang playing the guitar.
I didn't think about the other style, I mean the other arrangement.
OK.
I will try some arranging.

Lyrics?? Japanese, or English translation?
She Said She Said by dodo 2 years ago
>Baboon
I know that I am not a singer, so I uploaded the karaoke version also.
Yes, it was very hard to sing this song.
Chord progressions are simple,Up, Down, 2-5, like that.
But the key changes many times.
Check the karaoke version, too.

Thanks for your heartful comment.

Interlude 1 by dodo 2 years ago
>doddster73
Thanks doddster
You are absolutely right about 'abruption'
This tune is 'Interlude' that ought to carry the former part and link to the next part.
And the same time, it must be an independent music, so
2 changes is inevitable.
But
forget all about that when you listen to it smiley

Interlude 1 by dodo 2 years ago

I needed "introduction, development, turn, conclusion" stream in a short time.
So I had to put the "spooky" chorus part as a tension.
Then the release will be stronger, that's what I thought.
Aah, forget it!
